Zoey Stark says she was “getting weird responses” from WWE: “My gut was telling me something was happening”
While speaking to Denise Salcedo, Zoey Serrano (former known as Zoey Stark) discussed her release from WWE. Here is what she had to say…
“So right after, it really hit me. Like, I actually really feel bad for the gentleman that had to call me and tell me that I was released, because I broke down. I started crying. It was just one of those things that I wasn’t expecting, you know, after a year of rehab and working my ass off to come back, and then almost having to go through surgery twice during that whole rehab process, and to get that phone call, I just broke down.
And had to build myself back up. I had to take the time to find myself and who I am. And I quickly realized that I didn’t really have a life outside of wrestling.
And that broke my heart a little bit because I feel like it’s important for all of us to have a life outside of what we all love to do, right, is to wrestle. But I isolated myself.
So, it was a time for me to grow and become better outside of wrestling while I still continue to perform.”
Zoey also commented on the release happening while she was about to return from injury…
“My gut was telling me something was happening. I just remember my husband and I were driving to the store, and I just look at him, I’m like, ‘I think I’m getting released.’
Like, I just had this weird, deep, sunken feeling of it. And he was like, ‘Don’t say that. You just got cleared. There’s no way.’
But I was sending in ideas and everything like that, and I was just getting weird responses to the point where I was like, ‘Something isn’t sitting right.’
So, yeah, I kind of saw it coming, but I didn’t want to believe that it was happening.”
